Raymie's been Shortlisted and I'm So Glad!
Hello Friends,
Kate diCamillo's wonderful middle grade novel, Raymie Nightingale, was shortlisted for a National Book Award today, and in honor of that, I am re-posting the review I wrote -- at two in the morning -- after staying up to finish reading it, the day it came out back in April. Needless to say, I'm a fan ;-) Here it is:
Raymie Nightingale by Kate DiCamillo
